In a small village by the sea, there lived a fisherman named Arun. He had been fishing for most of his life, and the sea was his constant companion. Arun's boat was small but sturdy, and he knew the sea like the back of his hand. Every morning before sunrise, he would set out to fish, his boat rocking gently in the waves.

One day, while out at sea, Arun spotted something unusual. A large, shadowy figure was moving beneath the water's surface. Curiosity got the best of him, and he decided to follow the figure.
